DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to FIGS. 1 through 6 thereof, a new electric bicycle device embodying the principles and concepts of an embodiment of the disclosure and generally designated by the reference numeral 10 will be described.


As best illustrated in FIGS. 1 through 6, the electric generating bicycle assembly 10 generally comprises a bicycle frame 12. The bicycle frame 12 is made of recyclable material 14. The recyclable material 14 is configured for being recycled water bottle plastic. The bicycle frame 12 includes a pair of wheels 16 comprising a front wheel 18 and a back wheel 20. Furthermore, the bicycle frame 12 has a seat 22 and a handlebar 24. The handlebar 24 has a pair of handles 26 positioned proximate to the front wheel 18 of the pair of wheels 16 of the bicycle frame 12. The bicycle frame 12 has a pair of pedals 28 positioned beneath the seat 22. The pair of pedals 28 is in mechanical communication with the pair of wheels 16 and is configured for rotating the pair of wheels 16, thus providing motion to the bicycle frame 12.


The bicycle frame 12 has a generator 30. The generator 30 has a drive belt 32 positioned around the back wheel 20 of the pair of wheels 16. The generator 30 is configured for producing electric current from the rotation of the drive belt 32. The drive belt 32 is configured for actuating the production of the electric current and the back wheel 20 assists in rotating the drive belt 32, thus producing electric current within the generator 30. The electric current produced by the generator 30 is used as voltage by a battery 34. The battery 34 is in electric communication with the generator 30 and receives power from the generator 30.


The battery 34 is positioned in a center 36 of a distance from the pair of pedals 28 to the handlebar 24. The battery 34 has a voltage regulator fuse 38 configured for restricting an overload of voltage provided to the battery 34 from the generator 30, thus preventing the battery 34 from malfunctioning. Furthermore, a panel 40 is in electric communication with the battery 34. The panel 40 is positioned in a center 42 of the handlebar 24. The panel 40 has a universal serial bus port 44 and a global positioning system chip 46. The global positioning system chip 46 is configured for being in wireless communication with a mobile device 48. The universal serial bus port 44 is configured for connecting to a universal serial bus input to charge a variety of items such as the mobile device 48.


A plurality of lights 50 is positioned on a front 52 of the bicycle frame 12 and a back 54 of the bicycle frame 12. Each of the lights 50 is a light emitting diode. The plurality of lights 50 is in electric communication with the battery 34 wherein the battery 34 provides power to each of the lights 50. The plurality of lights 50 is configured for emitting light when the bicycle frame 12 is in motion. Additionally, a motor 56 is in electric communication with the battery 34. The motor 56 is in mechanical communication with the back wheel 20 of the pair of wheels 16. The motor 56 has a throttle 58, and the motor 56 is configured for rotating the back wheel 20 when the user engages with the throttle 58. The throttle 58 is positioned on a handle of the pair of handles 26 of the handlebar 24.


In use, each of the feet of the user engages with each of the pedals 28 of the bicycle frame 12 by rotating the pair of pedals 28 forward relative to the bicycle frame 12. As each of the pedals 28 rotate, the pair of wheels 16 rotates, thus the back wheel 20 rotates the drive belt 32 of the generator 30. The rotation of the drive belt 32 within the generator 30 produces electric current, which is then used as voltage for the battery 34. The battery 34 can then provide power to the panel 40 of the bicycle frame 12, thus powering the global positioning system chip 46 and the universal serial bus port 44. Additionally, the battery 34 provides power to the plurality of lights 50 of the bicycle frame 12. A motor 56 can be used to provide motion to the bicycle frame 12 by engaging with a throttle 58 on the handlebar 24.


With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure.


Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
